Your emotional state may be influenced by family tensions, which could leave you feeling disconcerted today. Perhaps the uneasiness you feel is with the people you care about the most; you might feel even more troubled by the smaller things that happen. Understanding their concerns and trying to see their side of things could help you release any unsettling emotions you may have. It might be a good idea, for example, to see that your family is simply doing the best they can. As you begin to realize this today, you might take a few minutes to close your eyes, breathe, and wish them well. Just the act of bringing the focus of your attention to their issues in a compassionate and loving way could make it easier for you to cope with their needs.

Approaching our family problems with empathy allows us to detach from our own emotions and gain more insight into what may be working behind the scenes. When something is awry with the people who are closest to us, it is easy for us to be more upset than we would be with an acquaintance. We can often lose sight of what is really going on for our intimate relationship can sometimes put blinders on our eyes. Stepping back with love and taking another look at our loved ones and what they may be going through today will let you transcend your own feelings and make things run smoother.
